The German giants are visiting north London for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. As a consequence of a prior incident against Copenhagen in October, UEFA imposed a one-game ban on the club from purchasing away tickets. Despite this, some fans have reportedly traveled to London with their partners but will not be able to attend the match at the Emirates stadium.
The Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan has emphasized the substantial terrorism threat level in the UK and the need to stay vigilant. He assured that there is a strong and thorough policing plan in place for the match and that they are closely collaborating with the club’s security team to ensure a peaceful event. There are reports of calls to target matches across Europe and in London, prompting the police to take into account any relevant information that could help in keeping attendees safe.
The public is assured that all matches are planned to proceed as scheduled with appropriate security arrangements. Additionally, an appeal is made to join a new WhatsApp community to receive daily Mirror Football content, special offers, promotions, and adverts from the organizers and their partners. If not interested, one can opt-out at any time.
